Tetra4 CLUSTER 2 Virginia Gas Production Project
In 2022, Tetra4 (the applicant) commenced with an application for Environmental Authorisation for the Cluster 2 gas production activities which would form an extension to the existing Cluster 1 gas production being undertaken near Virginia in the Free State Province. The application followed a full Scoping and Environmental Impact Assessment process which culminated in a positive Environmental Authorisation. The EA was subsequently appealed and the DFFE Ministers decision on the appeals required certain further assessments, public participation and thereafter reconsideration of the EA decision by the DMPR Minister. This website makes the updated Environmental Impact Assessment Report available for public review. Please refer to the formal notification document below for further details on report availability, public engagements, opportunity to submit comments or objections, and the deadline by which such must be submitted by:
